I'm likely going to make a fool of myself, but isn't call waiting a 
feature of the provider. My issue with the call waiting we have was 
how to flash so I could get to the other call. If the calls are SIP 
calls the second call just rings on the next "line" and I put the 
first call on hold to get the new call.  On the lines with call 
waiting I can use *72 and *73 to tell the phone company to turn call 
waiting on and off.  I did have to create an extension that let's me 
get to dial tone on my POTS lines to do that though.
